it comes back to bite ‘em in thE Ass!

In any circle you run in, the silent majority is 2K puts out a much better product than EA. NBA 2K7 outsold NBA Live 2007 in Next Generation sales. NBA 2K7 won “Best Team Sports Game” on Spike TV’s Video Game Awards 2006, over Madden! Maybe the majority is not so silent any more.
The ironic part (for those of you that don’t know the history) is that 2K Sports exists ONLY because of the mindless mistake EA made in the past. Do you remember the Sega Dreamcast? Well, EA never signed with them to make games for that console. So SEGA had no choice but to create its own brand of sports: The 2K Series. Who would have thought it would turn out to be the best source for sports games? Certainly not it’s cocky competitor.
It looks like EA is losing money, so we can expect to see the Marketplace flood with content very soon. Seems as though when people buy the full retail product, they prefer the complete game. Don’t worry EA, Chip’s got a Band-Aid® for ya.
-Rust.
